It was just before two o'clock this morning. A mighty roar bellowed through the square and then a bright light shone through my bedroom window. I woke with a start, completely disorientated and thinking I was in my childhood home of many years ago.
This was it, I thought. Cue chaotic scenes from Independence Day, War of the Worlds and any other US disaster movie you can think of.
And then another roar, a rumble and another roar.
I prodded Mr Grigg.
'We're going in the back bedroom,' I said. 'It's that bloody rally again.'
It happens once a year and no-one in The Enchanted Village knows it's happening until it happens.
Six hours later and still they kept coming. Motorbikes, old cars and 4x4s thundered through our now not-so-sleepy village.
At 7.30 this morning there was a thump. Mr Grigg jumped out of bed, ran to the front bedroom and looked out of the window into the square. Six men, two wearing high-visibility jackets, were peering around the front end of a jeep and looking underneath it with a torch.
I looked beyond them to see if my parked car was all right. Once I'd realised they hadn't hit it, I turned round to go to the bathroom for a shower. Mr Grigg was behind me, looking out of the window. Totally naked.
'Don't you think you should cover yourself up before there's another accident?' I said.
I'm off now for a lie-down.
That's about it

RATINGS: 358 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.56/5 SEASONAL: Special IBU: 72 EST. CALORIES: 270 ABV: 9%
Many times weve heard, more is not always better. Chainsaw is a connoisseur version of our award-winning Sawtooth Ale, designed to befuddle silly generalizations about life. This Double ESB pours a brilliant deep ruby amber with a rocky near white head. The nose opens with bright spicy and herbal hops, with hints of dried fruit and port. The flavor starts with a chewy, bready malt and hints of brulee and kola nut that are suddenly swept away by thyme-like and hoppy bitterness. The strong herbal flavors then give way to a dry finish of licorice, gentian, and Italian bitters. We hope you enjoy!

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy's new romance is making headlines, but the Kennedy family's dashing good looks are old news.
In fact, Conor, 18, bears a striking resemblance to a young John F. Kennedy Jr., seen here at the age of 19. With messy dark hair and a furrowed brow, their likeness is unmistakeable.
In this snapshot, John Jr. – the son of Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy – is seen in 1980 enjoying Labor Day weekend on Cape Cod, at the Kennedy family's six-acre waterfront property in Hyannis Port, Mass. (JFK. Jr. died in a tragic 1999 plane crash, when he was 38.)
He also seems to be the spitting image of John F. Kennedy himself during a recent sailing outing with Swift, who makes an nice Jackie Kennedy. Notice the resemblance between them now and John and Jackie from a July 1953 Life magazine cover?
As for Swift and Conor's relationship, the 22-year-old singer couldn't be happier, according to a source.
"They have been dating for a bit," the source tells PEOPLE. "She is swept off her feet."

Iranian Leader Touts Surplus Uranium
Published: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 2:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 2:08 a.m.
GENEVA | Iran has more enriched uranium than it needs for its research and would be willing to discuss the "surplus" with Western powers during nuclear talks next week, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Wednesday.
In an Associated Press interview, Larijani said Iran is open to discussions about what to do with the 20 percent enriched uranium that it doesn't need. Iran has reported to the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency that it has turned half of its 20 percent enriched uranium into a powder form that cannot easily be used to make weapons-grade fuel.
"We have some surplus, you know, the amount that we don't need. But over that we can have some discussions," he said in Farsi, through his English translator.
A key concession sought by Western powers in negotiations is for Iran to stop enriching uranium to 20 percent. Larijani said Iran produced the enriched uranium itself because the IAEA would not provide it, and insisted it needs the material only for research and isotopes for medical treatments, not for nuclear weapons.
He indicated a willingness to negotiate on that, too.
"Through the process of negotiations, yes, things can be said and they can discuss this matter," he said, on the sidelines of a meeting of the world organization of parliaments.
The talks on Iran's nuclear program will be held next week with the five permanent U.N. Security Council members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France — plus Germany, collectively known as the P5+1.
The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons, and the P5+1 want Tehran to stop enriching uranium to 20 percent, a grade that is only a technical step away from the level used to arm nuclear warheads. It then wants the 20-percent stockpile transferred out of the country.

Davidoff: D-Spot, 2
Every man has a D-spot.

the first one is better
Dont waste your life taking care of It...
I found this campaign quite funny. Happy not to see stodgy, rich dudes smoking cigars.
Pretty bad stuff in my opinion.
I'm a cigar smoker and this is just plain stupid. In fact, now I never want to buy a Davidoff.
banned? by who? why? keep it away from your kids or something but forcing your views on everyone else isn't cool
Clever thinking that cuts the clutter...but sadly should be banned
looks v.nice... & tempting
Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm
He Looks like John Travolta anyone agree
as u said it's a lung cancer award
I don't really understand what these ads are trying to tell the public. I guess they show the effects of smoking a Davidoff cigar, you get retarded and zone out. Now is a cigar like that worth smoking? I wouldn't think so. Let me tell you a cigar that should be smoked, the Romeo Y Julieta. I just love that Cuban cigar. I would rather just order a box of those from gocubans.com and smoke them to my face than to make a weird face by smoking a Davidoff cigar.
This is a great presentation in terms of Media and Smoking issues. Though He should have used a Cuban Cigar and made sure it was labeled as such. But then again we can't all be perfect right. Personally although it is illegal to have them you still can get Cuban Cigars. Best place is online and my shop preference is http://www.gocubans.com Love their selection and prices are great too. I may try my hand at some of the concepts of these photos myself as I love the idea of the smoke affect. Good job guys.
O-M-G This is AWESOME!!!!! It's absolutely hysterical. Who wudda thunk that stuffy ol Davidoff would come up with something like this.
So let's cut the cr*p about it being an ad for a cigar. Just enjoy it for what it is. Like it. Or Don't Like it. It is what it is.

This 2006 introduction aims to share with readers the author's enjoyment of the turbulent 240-year history of a theatre that tried, often against the odds, to be 'modern'. In each of its five parts, it deals successively with history and cultural context, with the plays and the actors who caught the imagination of their era. Peter Thomson's text, always approachable, is enriched by quotations and carefully selected illustrations that capture 'the spirit of the age' under consideration. Beginning with the reopening of the playhouses under licence from Charles II, Thomson introduces the modern English theatre by breaking off at key dates - 1700, 1737, 1789 and 1843 - in order to explore both continuity and innovation. Familiar names and well-known plays feature alongside the forgotten and neglected. This is a reading of dramatic history that keeps constantly in mind the material circumstances that produced, and sometimes oppressed, a supremely popular theatre.

Part One
The theatre restored:
Chapter 1
The material circumstance
What can reasonably be called the 'modern' theatre began in England in 1660, and since the habits formed in the first decades of its existence had a lasting effect, and since this period produced a body of plays more remarkable than those of any other under review here, the first part of this book will pay particularly close attention to the rapid evolution of an institution. Who 'made' it and what materials went into its making (Chapter 1)? Who provided it with plays (Chapter 2)? How were they acted, and who acted them (Chapter 3)?
People who assume control of institutions – and a theatre, like a national government, is normally one of those – tend to delude themselves into thinking that they can accomplish something entirely new. At its most grandiose, this delusion involves an utter disregard of the vested interests of those already occupying subordinate positions in the institution and a bold belief that the network of dependencies that has so far, however flimsily, sustained that institution can be replaced at the drop of a new broom. Most of the deluded end up deep in the footnotes of history,where they might at best be used to point a moral or adorn the tale of today's stubborn dependence on yesterday. But in London, at the troubled dawning of the year 1660, there was no established theatre: had been none for eighteen years. Before the year was out, there were two. What the managers of these new theatres might have done is a subject for speculation. What they did is the starting point of this book.

Death of William Ⅲ. Accession of Anne
The first theatre managers
The nationwide celebration of the restoration of the Stuart monarchy can easily mislead us into supposing that Charles Ⅱ was inevitable. On the contrary, his crowning was the outcome of political improvisation in a country that was losing control of itself. By the end of 1659, the standing army was so profoundly at odds with parliament that a renewal of civil war seemed imminent. What proved to be the decisive action was taken by General George Monck, then occupied in the suppression of rebellion in Scotland. Monck is one of the abiding enigmas of history. What had he in mind when he marched his disciplined army southward across the Tweed on 2 January 1660? What were his intentions as he systematically disempowered the officers of the army in England? And what political resolution was he seeking when he led his troops into Westminster on 2 February 1660? It seems unlikely that so staunch a Cromwellian was already bent on preparing the way for a king. For more than two months he bided his time, evidently determined to support constitutional procedure. As a member of the parliament newly elected in April, he was among those who voted for the Stuart restoration on 1 May, and he was the first person to embrace Charles Ⅱ when the gratified, and slightly flummoxed, uncrowned king landed at Dover on 25 May.
About noon (though the brigantine that Beale made was there ready to carry him) yet [the King] would go in my Lord's barge with the two Dukes. Our Captain steered, and my Lord went along bare with him. I went, and Mr. Mansell, and one of the King's footmen, with a dog that the King loved, and so got on shore when the King did, who was received by General Monk [sic] with all imaginable love and respect at his entrance upon the land of Dover. Infinite the crowd of people and the horsemen, citizens, and noblemen of all sorts. The Mayor of the town came and gave him his white staff, the badge of his place, which the King did give him again. The Mayor also presented him from the town a very rich Bible, which he took and said it was the thing that he loved above all things in the world. A canopy was provided for him to stand under, which he did, and talked awhile with General Monk and others, and so into a stately coach there set for him, and so away through the town towards Canterbury, without making any stay at Dover.
Samuel Pepys, Diary, 25 May 1660
Monck would be rewarded with the title of Duke of Albemarle, but it is difficult to believe that he could ever have explained just how things had turned out this way. In that respect, he would have been a true representative of the nation at large.
Charles Ⅱ's instant performance of magnanimity at the beginning of his reign was politically brilliant. It was still being alluded to in the plays of the 1670s.
That I survive the dangers of the day,
Next to the gods, brave friends, be yours the honour;
And let heaven witness for me that my joy
Is not more great for this my right restored,
Than, 'tis that I have power to recompence
Your loyalty and valour. Let mean princes,
Of abject souls, fear to reward great actions;
I mean to show
That whatsoe'er subjects like you dare merit,
A king like me, dares give.
This is the first speech of the restored rightful king, Leonidas, in Act 5 of John Dryden's Marriage à la Mode (1671). There are many comparable passages in plays written between 1660 and 1678.
He relished the power to enhance the prospects of those who had smoothed his path to the throne, but not as much as he relished the power to reward the small group of royalists who had remained loyal to him during his penurious exile. The latter group included Thomas Killigrew, whom, in July 1660, Charles appointed as overseer of his own nominal company of players, the King's Men. The appointment, that is to say, was not based on proven managerial merit of the kind that might have been claimed for Sir William Davenant, given ten days later the oversight of a second company, nominally servants of the king's brother, and known from the outset as the Duke's Men. The political significance of these July appointments needs to be understood:
1) Less than two months into his reign, Charles Ⅱ was asserting his right to be royally entertained without reference to parliament or Privy Council, and effectively bypassing Sir Henry Herbert, the long-serving Master of the Revels, who had been reappointed to that post in June.
2) At the same time, by sanctioning what amounted to a theatrical duopoly in London, he was signalling his determination to contain any threats to the state from a politically independent theatre. The warrants issued exclusively to Killigrew and Davenant, while encouraging them to take a fresh initiative, rendered illegal the theatrical enterprises already underway in the city.
3) Even so, Charles Ⅱ was publicly setting the tone for a new style of government hospitable to stage-plays, those 'Spectacles of Pleasure' that had been banned by parliamentary directive in 1642.
Whereas the distressed Estate of Ireland, steeped in her own Blood, and the distracted Estate of England, threatened with a Cloud of Blood by a Civil War, call for all possible Means to appease and avert the Wrath of God, appearing in these Judgements; amongst which, Fasting and Prayer, having been often tried to be very effectual, have been lately and are still enjoined; and whereas Public Sports do not well agree with public Calamities, nor Public Stage-plays with the Seasons of Humiliation, this being an Exercise of sad and pious Solemnity, and the other being Spectacles of Pleasure, too commonly expressing lascivious Mirth and Levity: It is therefore thought fit, and Ordained, by the Lords and Commons in this Parliament assembled, That while these sad causes and set Times of Humiliation do continue, Public Stage Plays shall cease, and be forborne, instead of which are recommended to the People of this Land the profitable and seasonable considerations of Repentance, Reconciliation, and Peace with God, which probably may produce outward Peace and Prosperity, and bring again Times of Joy and Gladness to these Nations.
Parliamentary directive against public stage-plays, issued 2 September 1642
But it was for Killigrew and Davenant to determine the direction of a reborn professional theatre. Who were they? And what had they to offer?
Thomas Killigrew (1612–83) belonged to the London gentry. It was almost certainly his father, vice-chamberlain to Queen Henrietta Maria, who introduced him to the royal court, where, by 1632, he was a page of honour to Charles Ⅰ. He wrote his first play, The Prisoners, in 1635, and had earned himself a modest reputation as a playwright (and a decidedly immodest reputation as a wit) before the closure of the theatres in 1642. His most successful play, The Parson's Wedding, was written in 1640/1 and would be famously revived with an all-female cast in 1664. From 1635 until the outbreak of the first Civil War, Killigrew spent much of his time travelling in Europe (according to the 1664 edition of his Comedies and Tragedies, he wrote The Parson's Wedding in Basel), employed, if at all, on trivial missions; but he was carrying messages for Charles Ⅰ and Henrietta Maria as political tension heightened in 1641–2, and was under house arrest in Covent Garden for several months in 1642–3.
After his release, like many displaced royalists, he took refuge on the Continent, and by 1647 was established in the circle of friends of the prince-in-exile. He served at various times as Charles's special envoy, his liaison officer and a groom of his bedchamber, but most significantly as a specialist in the morale-boosting job of remaining cheerful in adversity. Sometimes, and not always kindly, he was referred to as Charles's licensed jester, but there is something to be admired in a man whose good spirits survived the aimless time-passing of a wandering cavalier during the English Interregnum. It may have been in Madrid in 1654 that Killigrew completed the two-part comedy, Thomaso, in which he gave dramatic expression to the adventures (and mishaps) of the stateless royalists who travelled opportunistically from city to city in Europe. Too long and creakily put together, Thomaso survives best in Aphra Behn's brilliant compression, The Rover (1677); and the Killigrew of history can probably be glimpsed in the Willmore of Behn's recreation. He was certainly as much in need of a wealthy wife as any of Behn's roving cavaliers, and was lucky enough to find one in Holland, the territory in which he came closest to establishing himself. Charlotte van Hesse would later figure as 'north Holland's fine flower' in the Earl of Rochester's obscene poem 'Signior Dildo' (c.1673). (The marriage would eventually founder after Killigrew had exhausted Charlotte's fortune, and a few days after his death she was reduced to petitioning the king for relief: she was granted an annual pension of £200.) Samuel Pepys (1633–1703) met Killigrew, his spirits still high, on 24 May 1660, the eve of the restored king's embarkation for England, and marked him 'a merry droll . . . who told us many merry stories'. So far so good, but the biographical searcher for evidence that Killigrew had the makings of a theatre manager will find nothing.
Sir William Davenant (1606–68) – the knighthood was conferred by the beleaguered Charles Ⅰ in 1643 – was much better equipped by experience, but never as close to Charles Ⅱ. Davenant, the son of a prosperous vintner, spent his formative years in Oxford, of which city his father was elected mayor in 1621. The near-contemporary claim, given that father's known enjoyment of plays, that Shakespeare stood as young William's godfather is not implausible. Throughout his theatrical career Davenant said nothing to discredit it. Having left Oxford for London in 1622, he found employment first in the household of the Duchess of Richmond and then of the admired 'renaissance man' Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke. Before Greville's violent death at the hands of his man- servant in 1628, Davenant had married the first of three wives and had his first play, The Cruel Brother (1627), staged by the King's Men at the Blackfriars indoor playhouse, but the career of a young man on the make was interrupted in 1630 when Davenant contracted a venereal disease, probably syphilis, sufficiently virulent to entail the loss of most of his nose. The mercury cure was painful, but his gratitude to Queen Henrietta Maria's doctor Thomas Cademan, who tended him, found singular expression twenty years later when he married Cademan's widow. It was probably through Cademan that Davenant gained access to the queen, whose neoplatonic circle he joined and with whose support he wrote his courtly plays, Love and Honour (1634) and The Platonic Lovers (1635). From then until the outbreak of civil war, Davenant's theatrical work was centred on the royal court, above all in the staging of the elaborate masques through which the king and queen sought to celebrate their concept of benign rule. It was through writing these masques, from The Temple of Love (1635) to Salmacida Spolia (1640), that Davenant encountered the scenic innovations of Inigo Jones, and it is for his importation of scenic spectacle into the public playhouses of the post-Restoration period that he is best remembered. The idea was already in him when, in March 1639, he secured a warrant from Charles Ⅰ to build a playhouse on the north side of Fleet Street. It was a dream that he would come close to realizing in 1661.
In the early years of the Civil War, Davenant was an active go-between for Charles Ⅰ in England and his queen in France, but royalist defeats left him marooned in Paris. Without any of Killigrew's backseat skills, he embarked on the wasted labour of a vast 'heroic poem', modelled on the five-act structure of tragedy. Mercifully, only three books of Gondibert were ever completed. As unofficial poet laureate since 1638, Davenant was paying homage to the king by writing it. After Charles I's execution in January 1649, though, he returned to the service of the widowed queen, and it was on a mission instigated by her that he was captured and imprisoned by parliamentary forces, initially in Cowes Castle on the Isle of Wight and then, more ominously, in the Tower of London. Extremists argued for a treason trial, but the view that the impoverished Davenant constituted a threat to the state strained credibility, and he was released in the autumn of 1652. His immediate marriage to Anne Cademan brought short-term relief from accumulated debts, but his quick remarriage after her death in 1655 suggests that his financial problems remained. It was his French third wife, Henrietta du Tremblay, who supported and eventually inherited his management of the Duke's Men. Through Davenant's fifties and sixties, she provided him with nine sons and a home base secure enough to release him to the theatre.
Historians of the drama have given due credit to Davenant's groundbreaking initiatives. Confident of Oliver Cromwell's appreciation of music, he began as early as May 1656 with an 'entertainment' in his temporary home, Rutland House in Aldersgate Street. This was not a play – the ban on plays was still operative – nor was it merely a concert. Davenant had composed two debates, one on the value of 'moral representations' and one on the relative merits of Paris and London, interspersing them with songs and instrumental music. The audience was invited to consider the event as a first step on the road to 'our Elyzian field, the Opera'. A second, and much larger, step on that road was taken later in the same year, when Davenant staged his own The Siege of Rhodes at Rutland House. Within the constraints of a narrow room, perspective scenery provided a backdrop to a plain story, told in recitative. At this moment, the scenery mattered more to Davenant than the story. Even when transferred to the Cockpit in Drury Lane, this was a private performance, so that the evident presence among the singers of a Mrs Coleman cannot qualify her as the first woman to appear in a public theatre in England. But Davenant was sufficiently emboldened by the acquiescence of Cromwell and the parliamentary authorities over the presentation of The Siege of Rhodes to follow it with two more 'operas', also staged at the Cockpit in 1658 and 1659. Only after Cromwell's death in September 1658 was he formally warned off; and by then London was caught up in pre-Restoration turmoil.
I have outlined the background of Killigrew and Davenant because, in their different ways, these first managers of the revived theatre set the pattern for the subsequent history of theatre management in England. Notably, and against Elizabethan, Jacobean and Caroline precedent, they owed their appointment to the court. The earliest managers of professional theatre companies in London worked within the companies they managed, and their authority was granted (or challenged) by their fellow-workers. But the limited egalitarianism of the Commonwealth ended abruptly with the restoration of the monarchy. The authority of Killigrew and Davenant shadowed the nation's return to government by privileged aristocrats. Almost the only other things they had in common were their fluctuating aspirations as playwrights, continental wives and a constant shortage of funds to support their willingness to live beyond their means. In relation to the theatre, Killigrew was an amateur and Davenant a professional. The contrast is one that can be observed at almost any time over the next three centuries.
Managing the new theatres
Charles Ⅱ's July decision to allow Killigrew and Davenant to share the future spoils of London's theatrical market was formally ratified by the issuing of a joint warrant the next month. The warrant sought to appease Puritan opponents of the stage by reminding its beneficiaries of their moral responsibilities.
We, taking the premises into our princely consideration, yet not holding it necessary totally to suppress the use of theatres, because we are assured that if the evils and scandals in the plays that now are or have been acted were taken away, the same might serve as innocent and harmless divertissements for many of our subjects; and having experience of the art and skill of our trusty and well-beloved Thomas Killigrew, Esq., one of the Grooms of our Bedchamber, and of Sir William Davenant, Knight, for the purposes hereafter mentioned, do hereby give and grant unto the said Thomas Killigrew and Sir William Davenant full power and authority to erect two companies of players, consisting respectively of such persons as they shall choose and appoint, and to purchase, build, and erect or hire at their charge, as they shall think fit, two houses or theatres with all convenient rooms and other necessaries thereunto appertaining, for the representation of tragedies, comedies, plays, operas, and all other entertainments of that nature in convenient places: and likewise to settle and establish such payments to be paid by those that shall resort to see the said representations performed as either have been accustomely given and taken in the like kind, or as shall be reasonable in regard of the great expenses of scenes, music, and such new decorations as have not been formerly used: with further power to make such allowances out of that which they shall so receive to the actors and other persons employed in the said representations in both houses respectively as they shall think fit; the said companies to be under the government and authority of them, the said Thomas Killigrew and Sir William Davenant. And in regard to the extraordinary licentiousness that has lately used in things of this nature, our pleasure is, that there shall be no more places of representation nor companies of actors of plays, or operas, and recitations, music or representations by dancing and scenes and any other entertainments on the stage, in our Cities of London and Westminster, or in the liberties of them than the two to be now erected by virtue of this authority. Nevertheless, we do hereby by our authority royal strictly enjoin the said Thomas Killigrew and Sir William Davenant that they do not at any time hereafter cause to be acted or represented any play, interlude, or opera, containing any matter of profanation, scurrility, or obscenity; and we do further hereby authorise and command the said Thomas Killigrew and Sir William Davenant to peruse all plays that have been formerly written, and to expunge all profanities and scurrility from the same before they be represented or acted.
Extract from the Warrant granted by Charles Ⅱ on 21 August 1660
Its terms would be reaffirmed in 1662, with additions in the light of experience, by the delivery into the managers' hands of separate 'Letters Patent', thus initiating nearly two centuries of legal bickering about the duopoly rights of the current holders of the royal patent. While the authority of Killigrew and Davenant as patent-holders was made abundantly clear, the right to succession of their 'heirs and assigns' made the London theatre a hostage to familial and financial fortune. The disposal and vexed authority of the patents would be responsible for much that was inglorious in the subsequent history of the stage.

Hometown: Loma Linda, CA, USA
January 3, 2008
I've been to Japan four times so far. The first three were all for about 2 weeks each, and always during the summer. More recently, I did a study abroad in Japan spring, 2009 for four months. I was studying at Temple University's law school in Tokyo.
I studied Japanese for two years in college and have been self-studying since then for a grand total of about four years.
I don't own any Hello Kitty items.
As far back as I can remember, I've been interested in Japan. Although this isn't quite like being in Japan, I think belonging to a group like this is the next best thing, and hopefully also a good way to improve my Japanese.
If you want to ask questions about Japanese, practice it, or just make friends, this is a great group to join.

When I first saw the game at the arcade, I was amazed by the team roster, the number of characters you can choose from. It was crazy. It still is. All of them have epic special moves you'll never see in comics.
This is a 192-page artbook published by Udon. It's available in both paperback and hardcover. The hardcover edition is available only on Udon store, and it cost more than twice. The hardcover edition is limited to 500 copies and 200 were sold out on the first day at San Diego Comic Con 2012.
Udon has generously mailed me both the paperback and hardcover editions to review. The paper they use is quite thick. For the paperback edition, be careful not to open it too wide so as not to crack the spine. The hardcover comes with a dustjacket whose art is different from the paperback.
Unlike most other Udon artbooks, this is an original that's not translated from any Japanese edition.
The video game titles featured are:
- The Punisher
- X-Men: Children of the Atom
- Marvel Super Heroes
- X-Men VS Street Fighter
- Marvel Super Heroes VS Street Fighter
- Marvel VS Capcom
- Marvel VS Capcom 2
- Marvel VS Capcom 3
- Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom
There's a tribute gallery drawn by fans, splash pages, promotional art, character designs from all the different games, trailer screenshots, sketches, character profiles and ability card designs (not sure what are those).
The book is packed with great art. Almost all the splash pages are illustrations of characters battling out with one another.Read more ›
Do recommend!
I'm a fan of Street Fighter art especially the Alpha series which I grew up with. I really recommend this artbook if you're a fan of the series or if you just love artbooks.

Skip to comments.Dems cry foul early into Election Day; Sen. Taylor demands investigation
Posted on 06/05/2012 10:08:38 AM PDT by MNDude
With only about four hours into the Election Day voting, members of the Milwaukee Democratic Party claim that calls are going out to voters telling them if they'd signed the recall, they didn't need to vote today.
Milwaukee County Dem Chair Sachin Chheda said that Walker supporters can't get through the day without "cheating."
This latest lowlife sleaze comes on the heels of countless reports from around the state of various Republican dirty tricks on behalf of Walker," Chheda said in a statement. "For instance, reports surfaced last weekend that Walker supporters are paying homeowners to post Walker signs on their lawns."
"The slime bag Dems are setting up the narrative to demand a recount."
Good! Let them pay for their recount, lose again, initiate another recall, drop 30 more million, and lose again. Rinse and repeat. I like this.
Did anyone clue this idiot in on 2008?
"The rats should know that they get to vote on Wednesday."
Exactly right. To avoid any type of confrontation in this divisive election a slight change was made in the election process.
Those voting for Walker will vote on Tuesday, June 5th.
Those voting for Barret will vote on Wednesday, June 6th.
This will benefit all involved.
FACT: Union Democrats pay people all the time to hold signs supporting Democrats.
I received this helpful email this AM.
Requesting a Small Favor
Dear Friends,
There are less than seven months until election day when the people will decide who will be the next President of the United States . The person elected will be the President of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans. It's time that we all need to come together, Democrats and Republicans alike, in a bi-partisan effort for America .
If you will support Mitt Romney, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.
If you support Barack Obama, please drive with your headlights OFF at night.
Together, we can make it happen. Thank you!!
"members of the Milwaukee Democratic Party claim that calls are going out to voters telling them if they'd signed the recall, they didn't need to vote today. "
Lets face it. Any "Voter" who is stupid enough to believe that is too stupid to vote. You really have to be pretty clueless if you fall for that. Of course that is what democrat voters are.
Yep, and the original complaints about the butterfly ballot came from seniors who had received calls from the DNC telling them their votes weren't going to be counted.
This is a standard routine with these guys: every time they don't get invited to the party they mess with the punch.

With regards to efforts to increase education funding by limiting personal income tax exemptions (SB118):
The way the current tax system in Utah is structured, the people who utilize the education system the most — large families — pay the least to support that system. While I respect all families' choice to determine their ideal family size, the truth of the matter is that with more children comes a higher cost of education. More teachers, more classrooms, more buildings, etc.
Imagine if a family decreased the amount of money they spent on food with each additional child. The math simply doesn't add up. No parent would do that because it would mean starving their children, and yet, the current funding structure starves the education system of the resources needed to accomplish the critical task of ensuring every child reaches their potential.
High quality education benefits the entire society, which is why everyone's taxes (parents and non-parents alike) help pay for it. Let's make sure that together we feed kids enough to enable them to thrive.

The following susre sounds like a temporary fix to me!
Boeing 787 battery fix proposal to FAA not temporary fix: sources
WASHINGTON/SEATTLE (Reuters) - Boeing Co's (BA) proposal for preventing battery problems that have grounded its entire fleet of 50 787 Dreamliners is not a temporary stop-gap measure aimed at getting the airplanes flying again, three sources familiar with the plan said.
The proposal includes insulation between the cells of the battery and a stronger, stainless steel box with a venting tube to contain a fire and expel flames outside the aircraft should a battery catch fire again, the sources said.
Boeing will not propose abandoning lithium-ion batteries, however, and is not working on a backup or longer-term fix, the sources said.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
When there is mention of insulation between the battery cells and pilot monitoring of individual cells, then they might as well just go on to the next step. Liquid cool the battery cells and have a software that takes overheating cells out of the loop.
Of course, that's the Tesla method. It would be a little of an affront to buy aircraft technology from an auto maker but Tesla is a low-volume high-technology car maker and possibly similar to an aircraft maker.
Well, other electric vehicles use liquid cooling but don't use small laptop batteries.
The idea behind the Tesla laptop batteries is that a small number of batteries can be taken out of the loop of a large battery pack.
But I'm not an expert on the Tesla battery packs.

What a lovely and intimate book store! I've shopped there multiple times for birthday gifts for my nieces and nephews and each time the sales associates are able to guide me to the best books based upon the child's reading level and preferences. The sales people are very friendly and knowledgeable- they have read many of the children's/young adult books and provide great insight into what kids are into these days and what is a good read. As for my purchases, I've had many enjoyable conversations with my nieces/nephews, always telling me how much fun and interesting the books are.

We have used Bissell carpet cleaners in the past and they were always a hassle to set up and use. In the past with other cleaners you always had to lay the cleaner back all the way to remove the tank to empty it, with this one it was a snap, just lift the tanks out with the product sitting upright. Emptying the tank was easy now that they have put an big spout on the back of the tank where you would expect to find it but it was never there on other products. When it was time to clean up afterwards (this is the step I dreaded the most from past experiences) in preperation for storing the product, I was extremely surprised how easy this was. I have to applaud Hoover and their Engineers with this product. Tanks can easily be removed without having to lay the entire product down flat, top of dirty water tank easily comes apart so you can clean the entire inside of the tank. This one feature is well worth the money because in the past the tank was not accessible for cleaning so you always left some dirt and water that would eventually start to stink to high heaven the next time you used the cleaner. You can also remove the front nozzle cover to clean up any dirt or hair that always seems to get stuck in other products. Lastly, the brush assembly on this product easily pops off so you can thoroughly rinse them and remove any hair that gets wrapped up in the bristles. The brush then easily snaps right back into place without having to worry about any tools or latches. I was so happy with the maintenece on this product I almost forgot to mention how well it actually cleaned my carpets, Carpets look as good as new and again I dont have to worry about this cleaner smelling the next time I pull it out to use it. Nice job Hoover!!!

We have 3 German Shepherds, so you can imagine that this gets used often. We bought it brand spanking new about a year and a half ago. Earlier this year the cleaning solution valve on the tank started leaking. Since the part that was defective is not user replaceable, we called and got a whole new tank. Well, here we go again, except this time both valves are leaking. Hoover! We need a RELIABLE, easy to empty, and easy to use Carpet Shampooer! I'm waiting on my return call from customer service right now! If you are thinking about buying this product, DON'T! It's too expensive and the tank valve design is defective.

The worst

Comments about Hoover Multi Surface Pro Upright Vacuum:
My husband bought this for me in November and I was so excited to use it. I used it on the floor in the kitchen (vinyl) and on my hardwood (sealed). It scratched the hard wood (on just the #2 setting...not on #3) and it didn't clean the vinyl floor very well. The squeegee would stay attached to the front so I got water EVERYWHERE! I thought at least it would work to clean carpets---I was wrong. Just pulled it out after 6 months being in the closet and the brushes won't work. I've followed all the troubleshooting that Hoover recommends and looked for a tech to help--none within 100 miles :( So needless to say I have an overweight piece of garbage taking up space as it can't clean carpet or hard floors.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Paid for Itself
By Collie lady
from Cincinnati,Ohio
I bought this cleaner several years ago. I have two dogs and they were both sick. I have used this carpet steam cleaner and have been amazed at how well my carpets came out. My carpeting is old and white! Now I regularly shampoo my carpets when they need it and can't believe how dirty the water is. I am going to follow one reviewer and do it once a month.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Worst Hoover steam cleaner ever.
By Not clean at home
from Wa state
Replacement for the professional carpet cleaner purchased in 2010 with a five year warranty that was discontinued. At the time this was new steam cleaner agreed for replacement at 4 years. The professional model had spinscrub brushes and a round roller performed excellently and has superior suction although it was heavy and bulky This was an expensive model so thought comparable. This model has only spinscrub brushes for me this model has failed to extract carpet dirtt has not performed to my expectation am very disappointed. Have had three Hoover's previously. If I could give it a zero rating that is how it rated for me. Would not recommend Hoover.
Hoover Max Extract 77 Multi-Surface Pro Carpet & hard floor deep cleaner

My Hoover Steam carpet cleaner died after 20 years of monthly use. I have 4 dogs but using this machine monthly keeps my carpet super clean. I highly recommend it.
Very disappointed
By Jesse S
from Leavenworth, KS, United States
I bought this machine in November and unfortunately I have had a lot of trouble . I'm unsure if it's just the cleaner we bought or if multiple people have this problem, however the part that holds the cleaner up broke coming out of the box. Because we needed it to clean for a family function, we decided to look past the fault and continue to use the cleaner. We don't have abnormally clean carpets and I have kept up on maintenence. I have used this cleaner maybe 5 times and the water has now stopped despensing out of the carpet portion of the machine. It only sprays the detergent portion of the tank. When it worked, the machine worked VERY well. I'm going to contact our hoover tomorrow to see if someone will work with me since it is still under warranty. Hopefully the customer service is much better than the luck we have had with the machine. If I do, I will definitely try and post an update.
Does not compare to my Platinum cleaner
By ybddar
from Baltimore, MD, United States
I bought a Platinum cleaner some time ago and unfortunately the motor went up after 4 years where I only used it about 2x year. It was still under warranty so it was decided to replace my cleaner with this MaxExtract. I will say it does a good job of cleaning the carpets, but it just isn't as good as my Platinum. My main gripe about this cleaner and this is why I am only giving it 2 stars is because it throws out entirely too much water and soap onto the carpet. I've even tried pressing the trigger down only halfway and that does not help. I have not had a carpet cleaner do this before at all and I have been shampooing for years. This doesn't have anything to do with the seals either- they are fine. I use up almost an entire bottle of shampoo and have to stop at least 4 times and still don't finish one floor that includes 2 small rooms. Shampoo is not cheap either, when you're buying the good stuff, I use the PowerPro or Platinum and the latter is $20 a bottle. If there could be a way to adjust the amount of shampoo and water that comes out then this cleaner would be a lot better.
Broke in under 3 months
By CoachMoose
from Appleton, WI, United States
I was thrilled when this cleaner arrived, it had strong suction and cleaned great. That is until it broke a month after buying it. The brushes stopped spinning which dramatically reduced the effectiveness of the machine. Fingers are crossed Hoover backs up their item.

Loved it for ten minutes!!!
By Smh very disappointed
from Alaska, United States
It worked great no leaks, not problems with it drying the floor. Until ten minutes of using it for the VERY 1st time it starts making a motor noise. The dirt tank wasn't full and it had plenty of water and carpet cleaner in the cleaning tank. So I turned it off looked at it checked the filters no lint, nothing blocking it so I turned it back on the same motor noise. I tried spraying the solution and they came out no problem but it would not suck up the water and would not spin the brushes on the base. Just when I was in love, it broke my heart.
Won't buy a hoover again
By arabelladonn
from Kansas city
I've had my carpet cleaner less than a year - used it MAYBE a half dozen times to clean our carpet. Now the soapy water is leaking into the clean water. It's never sucked the water out of my carpet like it should, leaves them soggy and they they take forever to dry.
Great features!
